Muscle Building Plan 4 Weeks Later

I’m 4 weeks into my new muscle building plan and I’m afraid to tell you that I’ve not being doing well on the diet side of things. Exercise wise has always as been fantastic, but because I’m on the muscle building phase I’ve got it in my head that I can eat whatever food I want because I’m trying to gain muscle and increase my body weight.

I’m not sticking to my diet plan at all and I reckon my daily calorie intake as got to be at around at least 5000 calories per day at the moment. I’ve not been on the scales for 3 weeks now, but I definitely know that I’ve put on weight. I know that some of it is muscle, but I’m struggling to fit into my jeans again. Which means my mid section is growing, my body weight today is 209.8 pounds, which is 15 stones and my body fat percentage is 21.8 %.

This means my lean body mass is now 164.1 pounds

and my body fat is now 45.7 pounds

This means that over the past three weeks I’ve gained 5.7 pounds of muscle and gained 0.3 pounds of fat. So according to my body fat scales I’m doing fantastically, which I’m finding a little strange because I’m eating lots and lots of junk.

The extra muscle and body weight I’m now carrying though, is making me much stronger in the gym. I’ve added around 20 kg to my bench press and all of the other exercises I’m lifting more weight. But this is only natural I think because of the increased body weight.

I really do need to knuckle down because the weeks are already starting to fly by in 2010. I’m off to the cinema now to watch the Book of Eli starring Denzil Washington. I plan on having some nachos and cheese, but when I get home I need to sit myself down and work out how I’m going to stick to my diet plan 100%.
